![]() ![]() Oh I see hours (days.) of new challenges ahead of me. Taking a friend to carry the second rifle - yes, I like that, but normally find shooting with someone else is a hindrance at night, although of course Muntjac at night is illegal. 17hmr for more predictable work.Ī cast lead bullet sound interesting, one web site suggested putting the bullet in backwards to improve accuracy. 223 at 50 yards, is still edible.Ĭost is not too much of an issue, I still have the. Maybe when I get out there and shoot something I may find that a rabbit, head shot with a 55gr. 22lr or hmr I will see fox and Muntjac and if I take the. I do not have any useful first hand experience of either but look forward to a few fun hours experimenting. 223 for that, from time to time, while at the same time carrying the more normal 55gr 3100 ft load for fox and Muntjac in case I am lucky to see any. Most of the time I am shooting rabbits and often at. ![]() ![]() My slightly twisted logic was that I could go out with one rifle but two (or three) loads. Minimum bullet weight for Munties is 50gn! 224 bullet you could not achieve that sub-sonically The minimum muzzle energy is 1000ft/lb and with even the heaviest. Considering the larger volume and less charge, this 1.5kg goes a very, very, very, very long way.It would be illegal to shoot Mutjac with a subsonic. Image of TB tub above is 1.5kg and it takes up the tub, while the same volume of ADI AR2208 (Varget) be 4kg. This means that you can have a very lite recoiling fun plinking round. fit a lot less Trail Boss in a case than any other powder). It’s made specifically to take up lots of space (i.e. Now, when I say it’s fun to shoot, it’s FUN to shoot. If you hear the powder shaking, it’s not compressed - simple. That’s it.Īfter you seat the bullet, give the loaded cartridge a gentle shake next to your ear. No pressure signs? Move to 9.5 grains and keep working up to your calculated max. To be perfectly honest, this is a very lite recoil powder and heaps of fun to shoot, so you want to aim at the max charge, but you need to work up to that.Īs per the example above, start at 8.4 grains. Then, your minimum load is 8.4 grains (70% of 12). For example, if you can fit 12 grains of powder, at maximum. So, how do you calculate the starting load? It’s 70% of your maximum load. Congratulations, you have now calculated your maximum load. I love Trail Boss and I know some of you out there do too, I’d love to here what calibre’s you have loaded it into.įill the case to the mark and then weigh the charge. basically as long as its not compressed by a projectile (COMPRESSED LOADS OF TRAIL BOSS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WILL MOST CERTAINLY CAUSE PRESSURE SPIKES THAT MAY KILL YOU) you can fill the case and you will not create any pressure problems.Īs far as I know it was created for western action shooters who were only requiring low pressure loads for shooting relatively large targets at close distances, but it has found use in the creation of subsonic hunting loads, milsurp plinking loads, handgun comp loads and although not recommended by ADI as a shotgun powder (due to shotshell’s generally being compressed by a wad) I have talked to a bloke who has been experimenting with loads of brass 12ga shells loaded with Trail Boss and full bore round ball slugs. Trail Boss is an extremely bulky powder and generally is loaded by volume as apposed to by weight, by which I mean it is usually loaded somewhere between 70 - 100% of the free case volume. 308 and probably some I can’t remember off the top of my head right now. I have loaded Trail Boss into 38 spec, 357 mag. I’ve Been loading ammo with Trail Boss for a few years now and I must say it is the most versatile powder on the market (at least in Australia), Its can basically be loaded into any centre fire round and even in very limited situations into shotgun shells. ![]()
